Chapter 163 Companion to a king is like a tiger(1/2)
Before Cao Cao came, he had already thought about how to deal with this matter.
The world has not yet been unified, and Yang Ling's talents and wisdom are what he needs.
Besides, so many people begged for Yang Ling, even if it wasn't Cao Pi's fault, it must be his fault.
Otherwise, it will only make these people dissatisfied with themselves!
Seeing Cao Cao getting angry, Cao Pi, who had always been afraid of his father, suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said tremblingly,
"Father, I...I was wrong..."
"The traitor!"
Cao Cao's face was ashen, he grabbed the gavel tree on the side and threw it hard towards Cao Pi.
Cao Pi did not dare to dodge and let the gavel hit his forehead, causing blood to flow out!
However, Cao Cao seemed not to notice. He stood up, walked to Yang Ling, and held his hand in a friendly manner.
"What happened today was all due to Cao's lax parenting, which frightened Mr. Cao. I apologized to Mr. Cao!"
Saying this, he bowed deeply!
Cao Cao apologized like this. Not to mention Cao Pi, Cao Ang and others, even Yang Ling was shocked.
He quickly reached out his hand and firmly supported Cao Cao.
"My lord, no!"
"Sir, if you have any resentment in your heart, just say it! If you are unhappy, I will beat this bastard Zihuan to death!"
Cao Cao turned around and glared at Cao Pi sharply.
Cao Pi almost peed with fear!
Based on his understanding of Cao Cao, since Cao Cao said such a thing, he would definitely be able to do such a thing!
What is the origin of this man named Yang Ling that makes his father value him so much?!
"My lord, you are serious! My subordinates have no complaints."
Yang Ling said quickly.
Although he was dissatisfied with Cao Pi in his heart, he had just asked Zhao Yun to teach Cao Pi a lesson.
If Cao Pi is really killed because of this, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future.
"It's good that you're not angry, sir."
Cao Cao sighed, and then said coldly,
"Zihuan, please kneel down and kowtow to my husband immediately to apologize! If you do it again in the future, don't blame me for not remembering the love between father and son!"
"As for these guys, I will send them all to the army!"
"Here!"
Full of favors and orders.
Seeing several of his companions being taken away by Man Chong's order, Cao Pi felt terrified and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Ling.
"Sir, I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
Although she wanted to punch him twice more, Yang Ling still laughed dryly and said,
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good. Master Zihuan must pay attention to his behavior in the future."
"Zihuan has memorized the teacher's teachings."
Cao Pi said with sincerity.
"What a disgrace, Zixiu, take your brother back!"
Cao Cao scolded.
Cao Pi then stood up and, accompanied by Cao Ang, left the county government office in a hurry.
After getting out of Cao Cao's sight, Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but said to Cao Ang, who was standing aside,
"Brother, who is this Yang Ling...who is he?"
Cao Ang, however, had a cold expression and stared at him closely.
"Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Xu Chu are all his sworn brothers."
"He is Gao Shun, Huang Zhong's benefactor, and he has a close friendship with Gan Ning!"
"He is the teacher my father found for me!"
"What do you think he is?"
"If you dare to offend him again in the future, don't blame me for denying you as my brother!"
Cao Ang has a humble personality and has always taken good care of Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and other brothers and sisters.
This was the first time that Cao Pi heard him say such cruel words.
This shows how angry Cao Ang was!
And after hearing Yang Ling's origin, Cao Pi was even more shocked!
He never expected that Yang Ling would be so extraordinary!
"Why...I haven't heard of him?"
Cao Pi asked blankly.
Cao Ang glanced at him and said coldly,
"Teacher is a low-key and humble person and doesn't like to show off."
"Don't mention what happened today to others, otherwise my father's temper will definitely not let you off lightly!"
Thinking of Cao Cao's ferocious attitude just now, Cao Pi couldn't help but shudder and nodded quickly.
…
After seeing that Yang Ling was safe and sound, everyone left.
Yang Ling was just about to leave with everyone, but was stopped by Cao Cao.
"Sir, don't worry, I have something to discuss with you."
Yang Ling was startled, but stayed honestly.
After everyone left and only Yang Ling and Cao Cao were left, Cao Cao slowly said,
"I must have heard from Zixiu that I intend to betroth his sister Cao Qing to you, right?"
Yang Ling originally thought that Cao Cao left her because he had other important matters, but she didn't expect that he would mention Princess Qinghe!
"Reporting to my lord, Mr. Zixiu mentioned it before."
"So after so long, how have you considered it?"
Cao Cao asked.
Yang Ling was just about to politely refuse, but saw Cao Cao staring at him closely, his eyes erratic, and there seemed to be a faint flash of cold light.
Thinking of what happened just now, Yang Ling's heart thumped.
It's over, so many people are pleading for me today. They must have touched Boss Cao's sensitive nerve and started to doubt me!
If it had been anyone else, Cao Cao would have ignored him and not reused him, or he would have cut him off with a single blow and it would have been over.
But Yang Ling's talent far exceeded anyone Cao Cao had ever seen.
Without him, Cao Cao would have had a lot of trouble if he wanted to unify the world.
Besides, Yang Ling had made a lot of achievements in the past, and now he was Cao Ang's teacher, and he also had good relations with many generals and advisers.
If he was really ignored or cut off with a knife, Cao Cao would still be reluctant to let him go.
So after much thought, he decided to win over Yang Ling through marriage.
As long as Yang Ling marries a woman from the Cao family, they will be a family and there will be no need to worry so much.
After figuring out what Cao Cao was thinking, Yang Ling swallowed back the words and hurriedly smiled,
"I have heard that my lord's daughter has a beautiful country, a beautiful country, and a charming orchids. My subordinates have longed for her. I am honored by my lord's promotion. How can I refuse?"
Although he had never seen Cao Qing before, Yang Ling still hurriedly boasted and expressed his feelings!
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's brows relaxed, and the gloom in his heart quickly dissipated.
He smiled happily and said,
"That's very good! But Qing'er has been doted on by me and her mother since she was a child, and her personality is a bit coquettish. If I tell her in a hurry, I'm afraid she won't want to, and it can't be rushed."
"All subordinates obey the master's orders."
Yang Ling cupped her hands and smiled, but in her heart she wished that Princess Qinghe would refuse.
By the time the conversation was over and the two parted, Yang Ling's back was already covered in cold sweat.
